The Guns Of Navarone (Special Edition) [DVD] [2007]

If you like war movies you really should have ‘The Guns if Navarone’ in your collection. This release is essentially the same as the previously released 4K HD release with superb picture and sound quality with many extras but now housed in a very nice looking Steelbook. Possibly not an essential purchase unless you like collecting Steelbooks but it will look great on your shelf. If you just want the film then just buy the ‘standard’ 4K HD release and save yourself some money.

so classic

Fabulous film based on a great book, with an incredible cast

Love the older films action and acting classic actors like Niven,Quinn and Peak

It held up so well. Loved it!

A really watchable film..this was a Saturday night watch despite having seen it a few timesAlways worth a watch

This is a lovely little steel book for that old classic war movie The Gun's Of Navarone always loved this movie. Little back story this is the second time I ordered this release as my first original order of this arrived damaged the spine was dent hence the steel book hinge was broken rather than go through the hassle of returns I simply ordered another one as I really liked the look of the steel book edition. Pleased to report my second order arrived safe with no problems. That said you know the movie inside out no need for me to to go into detail on that for you but if you do prefer steel book editions this release won't let you down. Had it been a poor release I would not have gone to the trouble of re ordering it again. It's great guns I just hope your order runs a bit more smoothly for you than mine did. Despite all that it still comes Highly recommended from me.

Loved this movie, to me, in terms of watchability, excitement, action, intrigue, skullduggery, dirty tricks, gun battles and sheer entertainment, it is right up there with 'Where Eagles Dare', 'Kelly's Heroes', 'Battle of Britain' and '633 Squadron' and features a veritable host of A list actors such as Anthony Quinn (who plays the Greek Colonel Andreas Stavros), Anthony Quayle, David Niven, Gregory Peck, James Robertson Justice, Stanley Baker (who plays an assassin who loses his nerve) and Gia Scala (who gives an excellent performance as the sneaky turncoat spy in the company). The team have to destroy the radar guided guns embedded in the cliffs of Navarone (think it was actually filmed at Lindos, on Rhodes) so that six royal navy warships can evacuate the British forces besieged on the island of Keros. The special ops team seem to be bedevilled by bad luck, first getting caught in a firefight with a Kriegsmarine patrol boat en route to Navarone, then running aground in a storm and being forced to climb rain soaked cliffs in the dark where Anthony Quail's character falls and breaks his leg, then getting chased all over the island by Wermacht, SS, Fieslers and Stukas (Colonel Stavros shouts 'Keratathes' at the Stukas as they duck into a tunnel to avoid the bombing and straffing) before staging a diversion which allows Captain Mallory (Gregory Peck) and Miller(David Niven) to infiltrate the fortress and sabotage the guns. There is a memorable scene where one of the company (Spyros) gets a bit carried away during the diversionary action and and becomes embroiled in a sten gun duel with a Nazi officer and they both die in the battle. Colonel Andrea later soberly tells Spyro's sister that 'Spyros forgot why we came here'.

very nice

I must have been this movie over 20 times and now I will own forever

Per visione personale...bel film con un cast di attori formidabili!

Wer auf Kriegsfilme steht,den kann ich nur empfehlen

Skådespelarna. Det går inte beskriva hur enorm duktiga skådespelare brukade vara. Detta är den bästa av filmer.
